The communication with our host was impeccable, and the host even made some allowances time-wise to help with a birthday surprise. I am grateful. The apartment was spotless, the beds and pillows as comfortable as a five-star hotel, and the bathroom arrangements a rare find with full bathrooms in two bedrooms, one bedroom upstairs, the other downstairs, allowing plenty of privacy for two couples. (The main floor, which is quite spacious, is communal.) The building is one of the prettiest in the neighborhood, which was ideal, with excellent bakeries, cafes, cheese and wine shops, etc., all within easy walking distance. On the streets are Parisians going about their days and many young folks enjoying themselves in evening, along the canal (a stone’s throw) and in the brasseries. The Metro is only a few blocks away, and we enjoyed coming home to our neighborhood, and this lovely apartment, after shopping and site-seeing across Paris. I would without hesitation stay here again.
